Latest APK and OBB download links are here

PUBG Mobile may have been banned in the country last year only to return in its Indian avatar as Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) but the original game continues to be popular around the world. When it comes to popularity, PUBG has few competitors, such as Fortnite and Garena Free Fire. While Garena recently launched a premium version of the Free Fire game with improved graphics, animations and more in the form of Free Fire Max, gamers are waiting for the release of PUBG New State, a futuristic version of PUBG Mobile with more game modes and better graphics.

Last month, we reported that Krafton had announced pre-registrations for PUBG New State in the country, ending nearly seven months of speculation about whether the upcoming title would be released in the country. Just like the original PUBG Mobile game, players will drop in on a battleground, but this time, the game will be set in 2051. Once they land in TROI, gamers will have to make the best use of the terrain, interact with objects and use their best strategy to beat their opponents and win the game.

With the arrival of PUBG New State gamers can also expect to see incredibly realistic graphics on mobile phones along with familiar weapon customisation, vehicles and even tools like drones. However, exactly which devices will be able to play the game on high settings and enjoy these improved graphics is currently unknown. Also, there is no word on whether there will be a ‘Lite’ version of PUBG New State for lower-powered devices like its predecessor offers.

While gamers have already pre-registered for the game, which is currently in early testing, gamers can reportedly download the APK and OBB files necessary to try out the game on their Android phones. However, they must also keep in mind that downloading installation files over the internet can be a dangerous affair and can result in loss of data, privacy and security. Here’s how to download and play PUBG New State on your Android smartphone.

Step 1) Download the PUBG New State APK and the OBB expansion file for the game from this link. You might need to open the link in a desktop browser.

Step 2) Tap the APK file first, which will install the app. You might have to allow theinstallation of apps from unknown sources first.

Step 3) Now go to the Android folder on your phone storage, open the “obb” folder and paste the OBB file inside a folder called “com.pubg.newstate.beta”. You may need to create this folder if it doesn’t exist.

Step 4) Delete the installation files you downloaded to save space on your phone and start playing the game.
